Morgan's Wonderland wins 'Park of the Year'

SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio’s own Morgan’s Wonderland has received another big honor.

The park was proclaimed as “Park of the Year” in the prestigious 2017 Golden Ticket Awards, sponsored by Amusement Today.

Morgan’s Wonderland was the first park of its kind in the U.S. to be fully accessible to special needs children. This year, the park added a water park also designed for children with special needs.

“We gratefully accept this tremendous honor on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of special-needs children and adults that Morgan’s Wonderland and Morgan’s Inspiration Island have brought joy to over the past eight years,” Gordon Hartman said.

Hartman is the founder of The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation, which has worked tirelessly on behalf of the special needs community since 2005.
